sore hands - please help

Post by khalsa_kid »

Hi, i was wondering if someone could give me some advise regarding hands.

I've recently started going to the gym alot, however hands are starting to hurt the morning after a workout.

The pain and numbness is staring to last for days.

Im not sure if im gripping too hard when working out or its athritis. im only 29.

Please help and im thinking about giving up on training

Have you tried using weightlifting gloves, assuming your haven't already.

One good kind would be the ones with the little bobbly bits on the palms, as they would really promote good grip.

I don't think it would be Arthritis, though it couldn't be ruled out. If it feels like a possible issue with the joints in some way, perhaps consider something like a Hyaluronic Acid supplement, or maybe Chondroitin and see how one of those pans out.

Sometimes you can get a supplement with both in, but one or the other might be worth consideration, though I should stress at this point, I'm not saying go out and buy one or both, it's just something I'm throwing out there as a maybe.
